Comtech Systems, Inc. STA Extension Request WE9XUR File No. 0263-EX-ST-2012 EXHIBIT I STA Extension Request Comtech Systems, Inc. ("Comtech") hereby submits this request for an extension of Special Temporary Authority ("STA") issued under Call Sign WE9XUR (File No. 0602-EX-ST-2011). The existing authorization was set to expire on March 25, 2012. Comtech continues to conduct experimental testing of its Transportable Fast Link Antenna ("TFLA") system with the higher power levels authorized under the STA. Comtech hereby seeks an additional, final six month period to continue testing of its TFLA system for further development and demonstration purposes with the United States Marine Corp. which is utilizing the TFLA system. Comtech submits that a grant of this request for an extension of STA is necessary and in the public interest because it will allow Comtech to support its order with the United States Marine Corp., thus advancing national security efforts. Because the equipment is technically incapable of providing station identification, Comtech respectfully requests a waiver of the station identification provisions of Section 5.115 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 5.115. Comtech acknowledges that an additional FCC grant of this STA extension is deemed temporary in nature. Comtech also acknowledges that it will continue to adhere to the Special Condition as authorized under the original STA. Namely “Licensee shall coordinate the use of 4700 MHz in Orlando, Florida with the Eastern Area Frequency Coordinator (EAFC), scott.connolley@patrick.af.mil, (321)494-5838.” Further, if Comtech needs additional authority beyond the additional extension period requested it will submit an application for permanent experimental authorization. For the foregoing reason, Comtech hereby requests an extension of STA until September 25, 2012. As referenced in the original STA request, the stop buzzer contact for this experiment is Paul Kelly at Comtech, tel: (407) 854-1950 ext. 3050, mobile: (321) 948-4315, e-mail: paul.kelly@comtechsystems.com.
